The character we get at the end of Part II looks awesome!

Re-using bushes seems like poor planning. For the Island of Audra they made clouds and that was so much nicer as it gave us a separate spawn item. However, if they had to re-use an item, they could have at least gave the event spawn better chances. It has spawned so much LESS frequently than other spawns, as has been mentioned by others. For example, this morning with my full energy and energy from my wizard schools and portal, I attacked the bushes. I finished off the harpy from last night then proceeded to spawn a toxified spirit, a skunkupine, four candy minions in a row, then two more toxified spirits before running out of energy. 8 monsters without a harpy. It seems for this event it takes at least 6 other monsters for every harpy. Storm8: Respectfully requesting in the future to please create new spawn items and not reuse old ones (particularly bushes), especially on timed events like this.

I used to get one Holy herb per collection from Ivy?s hut. I am now on goal 9 and have collected twice from Ivy?s hut without getting any Holy herbs. I?m not getting Holy herbs from Harpies either. Has anyone else the same problem?

if it happens to me too, Ibi's house doesn't give me every time, this is a problem because many holy herbs are needed

I haven't had any problems with Ivy's Hut, it's been dropping one Holy Herbs per visit. As for the Harpies, the average drop rate I'm experiencing with them is one Holy Herbs per 30-50 Harpies defeated, so it may look like they aren't dropping the Holy Herbs.

Of COURSE the week I'm busy and don't play, they release a timed component main storyline, lol. Usually they involve a lot of expansions I cannot afford. This time I have money, but with the Ivy component, is there any chance I can finish if I start now?

No (mathematically), you can only skip 2 times Ivy in the timed part (13 collections in 7 1/2 days). But you can build up the stocks before starting part II & III.

I hunted ahead the Harpies, and could craft all 26 totems. I had just enough Herb drops to finish part 1 in 24 hours.

[Lavenderdale]

Thanks for answering. Yeah, just realized 105 harpy drops at 13 energy each is more energy than I can come up with, anyway. I'm bummed. :-(

Now I can take my own sweet time with the rest of the story.

Can I finish the timed Part I early? Is there any reason I should wait until closer to the deadline?

If you want to craft more Totems. Well I did it just because I didn't want to waste my trial clues to get Herbs faster (not wait for Ivy).

My understanding is the craft of the Power Totems in the Forge will not be available after completing Part 1, until you start the next part. Why not continue to fight harpies/craft as many Power Totems in advance, with no other event going on? I am not going to close Part 1 until early Wednesday, I am just going to continue crafting the totems. That way when I start Part 2, I will only need to concentrate on those new items, instead of *needing* Ivy drops plus fighting harpies/crating Totems, on top of the new items needed within that timeframe.
